National Geographic Photographer Adopted by Antarctica Predator

By Rocky Thompson on November 24th, 2009

National Geographic photographer Paul Nicklen (Canadian) found himself at the receiving end of a little philanthropy from an Antarctica predator. A 12-foot leopard seal took pity on his helplessness as an ocean predator and tried to teach him how to catch penguins. When that failed, the thing dropped dead penguins for him to eat.

    That’s effen cool. It’s not going to make me any less wary of seals though. They’re still gnarly predators.

    Seriously, this is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a really long time.

    I see this as a drive in theater double feature with March of the Penquins, or perhaps Happy Feet.
